My thoughts are much the same as yours. There are a host of other benefits. (VA DIC, VA Education, SS, Survivor Benefits) The more I think about this the more I worry its just greed on the part of the grandparents. May be wrong and would not be the first time. Just a gut.

It could be greed on the part of the grandparents. But MUCH more likely just stupidity on the part of the “reporter” who is too stupid to figure these things out. Common sense says SS benefits, and with a question or two, all the other benefits come out into the open.
This child could and probably is the recipient of a LOT of money.
And the mom surely didn’t turn down the higher SGLI since she had a child. and $400,000 can surely pay for the next 8 or so years of the child’s life. %50,000/year?? I think so!
